The only interesting point in that article was that it openly calls China an adversary of the US.
I think it's a fair claim to say that a major US trading partner and ally in the business of international peace has adversarial ideological positions to the United States on the topic of free speech.
>adversarial ideological positions ... on the topic of speech
my parse of this is:
"what you are permitted to say about the Overton window differs between countries"
I suppose we had long reached metalevel propagandizing.
